The on-board pharmacy is the kit that allows the implementation healthcare on board ships, since it should contain everything that may be needed to guarantee proper and efficient health care interventions for seafarers. There are several problems that can lead to a difficult and non-optimal management of the on-board pharmacy. This work illustrates the "TelePharmaSea" software, specifically developed to optimise the management of the on-board pharmacy of commercial vessels without medical personnel.
